Major League Baseball and the players’ association agreed upon a change to this years World Series. Now seeding, not record, will determine who bats last.

According to the Associated Press, The higher seeded team reaching the World Series will have last at-bats in Games 1 and 2 and if needed Games 6 and 7. It will not necessarily be the team with the best record.

However, If both winners have the same seed, then the regular-season winning percentage would decide which team will be the “home” team for the opening 2 games.

This years change was made in the attempt to expand the playoffs following a shortened season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The World Series is set to begin on October 20 and all World Series games will be played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas,
